i  {heart} marrickville festival 23/10/11

...and so do about 29,000 other festy-goers (so says http://www.marrickville.nsw.gov.au/marrickvillefestival) who, along with yours truly, languished in the 'blink and you'll miss it' summer tease, lapped up the visual feasts and live music on marrickville rd. 100 stalls - 75% local (poor effort, should have been 100 - just sayin'!) of food, art, fashion + design were complemented with wham bam slam poetry, wicked live tunes + sexy dance routines.

put it in the diary for next year if you missed it - not only are the stalls + music entertaining, the festy goers themselves are always colourful - have a looksie!

that's what i'm talkin' about - no, really, i am!

and seriously THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!  Lets keep the earth green so little cherubs like Alex (below) still has grass to run around on when she takes off those hot doc's. sign the petition tigers!!! http://www.getup.org.au/
